It did seem like he referee was being pernickety at the time and replays and discussion of the incident haven’t changed my mind since.

The English Football Association have now given an update on the incident. Sky Sports have reported that Jose Mourinho will face no further action from the FA. It had been feared that the boss would face a needless suspension for Saturday’s Premier League tie with Crystal Palace this weekend.

It seems the FA have showed some common sense on this occasion. Mourinho was sanctioned twice last season. First, being given a touchline ban and a £50,000 fine for two incidents in November – he was sent to the stands by Mark Clattenburg during our match with Burnley and then fined for comments he made about another referee Anthony Taylor, before we faced Liverpool in January.
